Sorry for repeating a question that's probably been asked a bunch of times. I have an 89 240 fastback. Alloy wheels, NONpower doors and Windows. I put my car up on a jack and turned a wheel in neutral. The other wheel didn't move, and it spun freely. Then I put it in First and spun a wheel. The other wheel turned the opposite direction. What do you think. Do I have a LSD? Thanks. PEACE. Tek.

Yeah, problem is the damn stock ka24e has a hard time peeling out. I've tried. Haha. I can probably do a donut, a straight line is not an option. PEACE. Tek.

if you've got manual windows, then I don't think that you had LSD stock. The LSD was an option, and I could be wrong, but I think that the electric windows are pretty much the 1st option ppl get. Besides, I've never seen an LSD equiped 240 w/ manual windows.

Yeah, no abs either. I pretty much figured from the get-go that I didn't have lsd, I just got excited when the guy told me I did, but then again he's only a Jiffy Lube guy so I didn't put too much faith in what he said. Thanks. PEACE. Tek.

I know I'm being redudant, because you know by now that you don't have a LSD, although I will chime in anyway. The only US S13 240's that came with a factory LSD were equipped w/ hicas.

So would that mean I have some type of aftermarket LSD or would Nissan have put that in. I dont really think its aftermarket because nothing else is done to the car. Why would it be different than other 240's. Sorry lots of questions
